  shoo-ahn-HAHN-oh-SAWR-us chih-LISH-ee-ahn-EHN-sis is what I get from

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
